Haunted Griffintown

Besides being one of Montreal’s most historic neighbourhoods, it’s also one of the city’s most haunted.

The district has witnessed everything from dying Irish refugees during the Famine of 1847 to the myth of Mary Gallagher, the headless prostitute. Today, condos are popping up all over the Griff, but new residents are quickly learning that it’s ghost-ridden Mary Gallagher.
